What it does
On a multilingual WordPress site, search can get messy. A visitor reading the French version of a page may search and get a mix of English, German and French results, which is confusing and makes content harder to find. This integration addresses that by linking SearchWP and WPML, so search results automatically display in the visitor's current language. Turning it on is a quick, one-click step for sites already running both plugins.
Once connected, you keep the SearchWP tools you already use and apply them across languages. You can tune relevance using keywords, tags, categories and custom fields, promote specific posts and pages, offer live Ajax results as people type, and index text inside PDFs and other file types. Search analytics break down activity across languages, which helps you see what visitors look for in each one. It suits blogs, stores and corporate sites built with WPML.
Best for
- Multilingual WordPress sites built with WPML
- Sites already using SearchWP for custom search
- Agencies managing translated business or store websites

Adjustable relevance settings

Questions about SearchWP WPML Integration
What do I need for this plugin to work?
It is an integration between two plugins, so your site needs both SearchWP and WPML. The integration connects them so SearchWP understands which language each piece of content belongs to and returns results in the visitor's current language.
Will visitors see results from other languages mixed in?
Search results automatically display in the language the visitor is browsing in. Someone on the Spanish version of your site gets Spanish results, which keeps search focused and avoids a confusing mix of translations.
Can I still customize how results are ranked?
Yes. You can adjust relevance using keywords, tags, categories and custom fields, and you can promote specific posts or pages so they rank higher. These settings work alongside the language filtering.
Does it search inside PDF files?
SearchWP indexes PDFs and other file types, so text inside documents can show up in search results. This is useful for sites that publish manuals, reports or brochures in more than one language.
Is SearchWP WPML Integration free?
The code of SearchWP WPML Integration is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
